A Review: THE UNSOUND #1

The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of THE UNSOUND #1 from BOOM! Studios. Cullen Bunn writes, Jack T. Cole draws and colors,
and Jim Campbell letters.

It’s Ashli’s first day at Saint Cascia, and she’s a little nervous
about working there. She’s a nurse, and it’s a mental health facility. Nurse
Jeffers is in charge, though her welcoming skills are less than stellar. Ashli
gets started right away, meeting a few of the patients pretty quickly. She also
has an interesting experience in the staff lounge, and it’s clear that
something very strange is going on here.

This first issue does a delightful job of not giving any
hints as to the nature of the weirdness. But weirdness there is, and Ashli’s in
for quite an adventure (whether she wants it or not). There’s as much history
here as story, too, and there’s also a subtlety in the art that makes it hard
to pin down what’s going on (at least so far).

This is a really hard book to label, and I love that about
it. One word I can use to describe it is intriguing, and I’m already hooked.
Pick it up and you will be too.
